Flourish, our community learning blog, will transition for the summer. We will continue to reflect on what we are learning as we rest, relax and refresh over the summer months. We will not have a schedule to our posts just as we have no schedule at school. We will read and reflect when we choose.
As a starting point, we will use our summer reading, shown below, as a common starting place. As we read, we share our notes and thinking. The theme of our summer reading is the art of questioning.

Our version of the 4 As protocol worksheet will be used to discuss these books in the fall.
We will use the book titles as categories for posts and the As as tags.
Our posts this summer are not restricted to our summer reading; it is just a place to start. We learn, grow and flourish in many ways.
Just started Pinks book. OK, he “sold” me right from the gitgo! Teachers are in the “sales” business, along with everyone else. But oh, do we have the best commission of them all! That hug you get in the morning, the look in their eyes when they “get it” and THEY KNOW they ‘get it’, and the dozens, and hundreds of little ways they so joyfully pay the commission that keeps teachers coming back every year!
